A friends Birthday!

My good friend Diana, is going to be on her own for awhile while her husband is in Korea for a year, but it will be rewarding when he gets back not only because they will be reunited but also because they got following orders to Italy! She is very sad to be a single mom the next year but totally thrilled to start a new adventure in Italy!! This year we celebrated her birthday at Azteca and then walked up the street to fast eddies to spin the birthday wheel where she won $50.00!!  

Happy New Year!!!

New years was so much fun!!! Corey's parents watched the kids for us where they had their own special New Years party with Gammi and Papa, while me and Corey and my sister in law (Corey's sister) and her new man went up to my sisters house for a great party!!! We sang the night away with some awesome Karaoke and let off fireworks at midnight! When we woke up the next morning we made a fire in my sister humongous fire place and enjoyed some breakfast casserole before heading off to Corey's parents house where we lounged our hangovers away!!

A visit from Miho!

This summer our family friend from Sendai Japan came to visit! We had not seen her in over ten years, so it was long overdue to reunite. She had told us that during the tsunami and earthquake they had no water or electricity for three months and had to ration what food they had, and it obviously showed in how skinny she was! It made me think that what if that were to happen to us and what ever was in our house at that time we had to make last three months. It is crazy to think about and also what we take for granted.

 It was the first time any of the kids had met her and they took to her like they had known her all their lives! That's how wonderful she is! The kids also enjoyed all the origami she taught them!

 She absolutely LOVES American food, so of course we took her out to splurge!!!!

 All in all it was a wonderful visit and I just love her so much! She is such a special lady with such a kind and loving heart!

Yummy Quesadillas

I think I have found my favorite quesadilla recipe! I use corn tortillas and brush on an oil mixture of 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of Basil and 1/8 cup of chopped chives that I have pureed in a food processor. and then lay the brushed oil side down on the indoor grill and add some shredded cheddar and slices of ham and then some more shredded cheddar and then another tortilla topped with a brushing of the oil mixture and then cook till golden brown on one side then flip and grill the other side til golden brown! Absolutely DELICIOUS!

The one I keep going back to

No matter how many foundations I try, I keep going back to this one. I have a very sensitive face, one that is prone to breakouts and allergic rashes and this one always works great for me. My face always seems to stay clear when I use this and I like the slight glow it provides on my face also, its seems to highlight automatically where I would like it to. It is very easy to apply and comes in a good range of shades in my opinion. I like that I can just stick it in my purse and apply when I need touch ups also. It is made by Philosophy and called The supernatural, It is a mineral makeup and I haven't had lots of luck with mineral makeups before in the past, but this one I have really enjoyed. I get it from the Sephora store in our local JcPenneys.
